What the Utah Jazz decide to do with Walker Kessler this offseason is and will be quite the elephant in the room until the offseason approaches. The Jazz may have made the team-friendly decision to wait until next year's agency, but Kessler's reported asking price may have also factored into the route the Jazz took, and only amplifies the pressure on them this coming offseason.

"In contract discussions with the Jazz, Kessler sought upwards of $120 million in total compensation for a long-term contract extension, sources told DallasHoopsJournal.
